Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has been told to accept the manager's job at MK Dons by another former Red.

Gerrard held talks with the League One club last week and Sky Sports reported on Saturday that he has been offered the job on a permanent basis.

The 36-year-old has spent the last year and a half at LA Galaxy but will leave the MLS side when his contract expires next month.

He will reportedly make a decision on Monday and Paul Ince has urged him to accept the job, having himself spent a season as Dons boss, guiding them to the League Two title in 2008 before becoming the manager of then-Premier League outfit Blackburn Rovers.

"If you're going to start your job as a manager, especially as a young manager like Steven Gerrard, there's no better club to do it at [than MK Dons]," Ince told BT Sport.

"The infrastructure is fantastic. They've got a great fan base. You get support from the chairman, that's for sure.

"He (Gerrard) must be seriously thinking about it because obviously he's not going to make an announcement until Monday."
